It was the day of Christmas eve
And I was walking down the street
I could see Christmas lights and trees
Snow was crunched under my cold feet
That's when I saw him standing there
A twelve-point with some mighty fine hair
I'm gonna get me an elk
I'm gonna treat it so well
And give it a home
I'm so alone
I'm gonna get me an elk
I'm gonna treat it so well
And give it a home
So I'm not alone
This Christmas day
My elk was looking a little blue
So we had a long talking to the moon
Told me his girl wasn't acting true
So he left her to get with a caribou
But together they couldn't stay
So he turned to me to say
I'm gonna get me an elk
I'm gonna treat her so well
And be by her side
All of the time
I'm gonna get me an elk
I'm gonna treat it so well
And give it a home
I'm so alone
My elk got the girl of his dream
And on the way to their honeymoon suite
That's where they got into a fight
She wouldn't talk to him for the rest of the night
Now they're arguing every single night
Now they're arguing every single night
Now they're arguing every single night
A happy marriage is in his sight
